Cortona On The Move – Fotografia in Viaggio (Travelling Photography) is an international festival taking place in Cortona, in the Arezzo province of Tuscany. It is organised every year by the Cultural association ONTHEMOVE.
Once again, the 6th event edition will be supervised by the Art Director Arianna Rinaldo and will take place between the 14th of July and the 2nd of October 2016. As always, the festival will propose a very busy calendar of exhibitions and events. Especially in the first opening weekend, and among all events, the workshop and the portfolio reviews stand out and will be attended by Italian and foreign experts. Additionally, we have the usual OFF Circuit for emerging talents, and the Happiness On The Move Award.
FPmag will be media partner of the festival and will tell you all about the event Cortona On the Move 2016 on this page also proposing our point of view on it.
